I-Doors iyisibonelo se-psychedelic 1960s neVietnam kanye ne-rock and roll, enefilosofi ebolile kanye ne-mescaline. Iqanjwe igama layo kule ncwadi, eyaphefumulela uMorrison (umphambili weqembu).
Ukuqala Kweminyango (Juni 1965 - Agasti 1966)
Konke kwaqala ogwini lolwandle e-Los Angeles, lapho abafundi ababili be-UCLA abaqondisayo behlangana futhi beshintsha umbono wabo womhlaba.
Omunye watshela izinkondlo zakhe, owesibili wabonga futhi wathembisa ukuziqopha emculweni. Ukungena kwengoma ethi Light My Fire kuwufanele owesibili. Lo mhlangano oyinhlekelele UJim Morrison kanye nomshayi wopiyano uRay Manzarek ehlobo lika-1965 uvezwa ngokusobala efilimini kaStone ethi Doors.

Isiko laboMdabu baseMelika kanye neSpanishi, izinkomba zezinganekwane zamaGreki - lokhu bekuyimbangela eyinhloko yeqembu, kanye nesizathu sokuxoshwa kwabo. Njengoba, egxile endaweni ye-Oedipus esimweni esihle, uMorrison washo ibinzana elihehayo engomeni ethi The End ngesikhathi sokudlala kwakhe e-Whisky a Go Go club:
